Differing Pasts, Unified Future

While we all come from different backgrounds, it's the acknowledgment of how our unique stories and challenges can connect with others facing similar struggles that truly matter.

Sure, stories from major tech executives, VPs, speakers, celebrities, authors, and professional athletes can be inspiring. But do you think you could relate to them on a personal level? It's often the stories of those who have faced similar hardships that resonate most with us, especially during tough times.

That’s why Build-Her.Org is dedicated to sharing the stories of women in construction—stories that can inspire and connect with others. Your story can connect with someone who is working towards a career in the trades or in construction and it can give them added inspiration. Your story can reach someone who has faced similar challenges in life or in their career and you can be that inspiration for them to keep going.

Its not about being in the spotlight or the desire for attention for ourselves, it is about being a visual representation for young girls to see themselves in a career that can be very rewarding. Its shedding light that the construction and trades industry is accessible to everyone.

So, share your story—whether with a coworker, a friend, or a family member who may be uncertain about their career path. Your experiences could inspire someone to consider a career in construction and trades, offering them an opportunity they might never have thought of. It's a powerful way to give back and help create a more inclusive culture in our industry.
